participate in the Language Ambassadors program

Language Ambassadors are students in Elementary, Middle and High school who are actively developing a world language in addition to English. They are students who, together with their families, schools and communities, recognize the value of multilingualism in our global economy and multicultural society. K-12 students can participate in the Language Ambassadors program in the following ways 

Celebrating Multilingualism

We conducted the ‘World Languages Showcase’ on April 24th, 2024 at Soquel High School. Every year Middle and High School students have the opportunity to showcase their language skills via poetry or poster presentations. 

Home Languages Development Recognition Program

This new initiative by CDE encourages families to practice their home language and relies on parents and caregivers to certify their students’ participation. Students can participate in the school wide program or families can register individually. 

Language Ambassadors Virtual Expo

Students have submitted projects to this website every year since 2020.  This website has a collection of  performances, video presentations, pamphlets, slideshows, poem recitations, book review, games etc. Navigate through these interesting projects and get inspired!
